"Can you rework your past, the grit that rubs in you, until it is shiny and smooth as a pearl?"

Previous Quote

When someone's been gone a long time, at first you save up all the things you want to tell them. You try to keep track of everything in your head. But it's like trying to hold on to a fistful of sand: all the little bits slip out of your hands, and then you're just clutching air and grit.
